2017 AUDI TT COUPE warning

Intelligent Technology
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre­
cautions
¢ & .
Winter tires
By using all wheel drive, your vehicle has good
forward motion with standard tires in winter con­
ditions. However, in winter we recommend using
winter or all season tires on
all four wheels, be­
cause this will improve the
broking effect.
Snow chains
If there are snow chain laws, snow chains must
also be used on vehicles with all wheel drive
¢ page 2 70, Snow chains.
Replacing tires
For vehicles with all wheel drive, only whee ls with
the same rolling circumference should be used .
Avoid using tires with different tread depths
¢ page 262, New tires or wheels.
Offroad vehicle?
Your Aud i is not an offroad vehicle - there is not
enough ground clearance. For this reason, avoid
difficult terrain.
_&. WARNING
-Also, in vehicles with all wheel drive, adapt
your driv ing style to the current road and
t ra ffic conditions. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks,
because this increases the r isk of an acci­
dent.
- The braking ability of your vehicle is limited
to the traction of the wheels. In this way, it
is not different from a two wheel drive vehi­
cle. Do not be tempted to accelerate to a
high speed when the road is slippery, be­
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
- Note that on wet streets, the front wheels
can "hydroplane" if driving at speeds that
are too high. Unlike front whee l drive
vehicles, the eng ine does not rev highe r sud­
denly when the vehicle begins hydroplaning.
For this reason, pay attention to the road
conditions regardless o f your speed.

Rear spoiler
Appl ies to: vehicles with retractable rear spoile r
The extendoble rear spoiler increases driving sta ­
bility.
Fig. 92 Center conso le: button for the rear spoiler
The rear spoiler retracts and extends. It can be
activated in various operat ing modes (manua l
mode or automatic mode).
Automatic mode (normal operation)
- Automatic extension: the rear spoiler w ill auto-
mat ically extend when speeds exceed approxi­
mately 75 mph
(120 km/h)
- Automatic retraction: the rear spoiler w ill auto­
matically retract when speeds decrease to un­
der approximately 50 mph (80 km/h).
Manual mode
-Extend ing manually : briefly tap the¢ fig. 92
button to fully extend the rear spoiler .
- Retracting manually: when driving at speeds
below approximately
10 mph (20 km/h), press
and hold the b utton to retract the rear spoiler .
When at speeds be tween
10 mph (20 km/h)
and 75 mph
(120 km/h), the rea r spoi ler will
completely retract when you tap the button.

tact Service
The rear spoiler may not have extended due to a
malfunction. This could change the vehicle's driv­
ing characteristics at high speeds. Do not drive
faster than 85 mph
(140 km/h) . Drive to an au-
thorized Audi dea ler or authorized Audi Service ..,.

Facility immediately to have the malfunction cor­
rected. The color of the indicator light depends
on the vehicle speed.
A WARNING
-
Driving at higher speeds without the rear
spoiler deployed can impair handling charac­ teristics, making the vehicle harder to con ­
trol.
- Always make sure that the spoiler is de­
ployed when driving at speeds over 85 mph
(140 km/h). If the rear spoiler warning/indi­
cator light in the instrument cluster comes
on, the rear spoiler may not have deployed.
- Never drive at speeds higher than 85 mph
(140 km/h) if the spoiler is not deployed .
Have the spoiler inspected as soon as possi­
ble by an authorized Audi dealer or qualified
workshop.
- Always obey speed limits and other traffic
laws.
A WARNING t =
Improper operation of the rear spoiler can
cause crushing injuries.
-
- Always make sure that nobody, especially
children, is in the way when the rear spoiler
is deployed or retracted.
(D Note
- Never push on the vehicle on the rear spoil­
er. This could cause damage.
- To prevent damage to the rear spoiler do
not lean or place anything on it.
- Only operate the rear spoiler manually when
the luggage compartment lid is close and
the rear spoiler moving parts are not
blocked. Otherwise, damage could occur.
@ Tips
Clean the rear spoiler compartment every 2 to
3 months. To function correctly, the rear
spoiler must be free of ice , snow and leaves.
Intelligent Technology
Energy management
The starting ability is optimized
The energy management system manages the
electrical energy distribution and optimizes the
availability of electrical energy for starting the
engtne.
When a vehicle with a conventional energy sys­
tem is not driven for a long time, the vehicle bat­
tery is drained by equipment (for example, the
immobilizer). In certain circumstances , there
could may not be enough energy to start the en­
gine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener­
gy management system for distributing electrici­
ty. This significantly improves the starting ability
and increases the vehicle battery life.
The energy management system Is made up of
battery diagnosis, idling current management
and dynamic energy management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis determines the vehicle bat ­
tery charge level. The sensors determine the bat­
tery voltage, the battery current, and the battery
temperature. The current charge level and the
performance of the vehicle battery are deter­
mined based on this.
Idling current management
The idling current management decreases the
energy used while parked. With the engine
switched off , it manages the energy distribution
to the different electrical components. Data from
the battery diagnosis is taken into account for
this.
Depending on the vehicle battery charge level,
electrical equipment is switched off one item af­
ter the other to prevent the vehicle battery from draining and to maintain the starting ability.
Dynamic energy management
While driving , dynamic energy management dis­
tributes the appropriate amount of energy to the
electrical equipment.
It controls the battery
charge level so that the amount of energy is not ..,_

Telephone Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
To make phone coils in your vehicle using the
/11/111, connect your cell phone to the /11/111 via
Bluetooth.
Hand sfree
Afte r you have connected you r ce ll phone to the
MMI via Bluetooth , you can use the handsfree
system and operate telephone functions through
your MMI. You can make calls using the antenna
on your cell phone.
A WARNING
-Med ical experts warn that cell phones can
interfere w ith the funct ion of pacemakers .
Always mainta in a m inimum d istance of 20
c ent imeters between the cell phone anten­
na and the pacemaker.
- Do not carry the cell phone in a pocket di­
rectly over the pacemaker when the phone
is switched on.
- Sw itch the cell phone off immediately if
you suspect it may be interfering w ith the
pacemaker.
- Do not use the vo ice recognit ion sys-
tem* c>
page 108 in emergenc ies because
your vo ice may change in stressful situa­
t ions. It may take longe r to dial the number
o r the system may not be able to dial it at
all. Dial the emergency n umbe r manually .
- Switch your cell phone off in areas where
there is a risk of an exp losion . These loca­
tions are not always clea rly mar ked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo­ cations where fue l vapors (such as propane
or gaso line vapor in vehicles or bui ld ings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti­
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn yo ur vehicle engine off .

-On: the MMI Wi- Fi hotspot is active and visib le
to other devices. You can connect your Wi-Fi device with the MMI.
- Off: the MM I Wi -Fi hotspot is deactivated. An
Internet connection for Wi -Fi devices is not
possible.
A WARNING
- As the driver, do not allow usage of the Wi­
Fi hotspot to distract you from driving, as
this could increase the risk of an accident .
- It is only safe to use tab lets, laptops, mo­
bile devices and other s imilar dev ices when
the vehicle is stationary because , like all
loose objects, they could be thrown aro und
the ins ide of the vehicle in a crash and cause
serious injur ies. S to re these types of devices

@ Tips
- A separate, paid mobile subscription may be
needed to use the Wi-Fi hotspot. You can
obtain more information from your cell
phone service provider .
- In vehicles without Aud i connect *, the use
of the Wi-Fi hotspot is only poss ible for the
